Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to support publicly funded barristers who are ineligible for the Self-Employment Income Support Scheme.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer has said there will be no further changes and no further extensions to the Self Employment Income Support Scheme (SEISS), which continues to be one of the most generous in the world.
Barristers who are ineligible for this scheme may be eligible for other elements of the unprecedented financial support provided by the Government. This package includes Bounce Back loans, tax deferrals, rental support,?increased levels of Universal Credit, mortgage holidays, and other business support grants.
